let's make the world a little bit more colourful

:: Pancake-ing ::

Have you been to this new pancake restorante somewhere in Permata Hijau called Panseous?? I have been passing through this place for few times on my way to Senayan City.. just before that bloody railway and the traffic light which work uncoherently (imagine yourself driving when the redlight stays for 5 minutes, and when it is green – the train crosses) this happens for not just one but many many times.. stupidddd..

Anyway, at first was thinking to go to Kiyadon in Senayan City but because of that bloody traffic jammed before the railway.. then I and my sisters decided to turn around and went to Panseous instead..

A very gracious welcome by the door.. soon be seated. nice decor I would say, fresh flowers arrangement, cozy sofas and minimalist design.. dominated by red, white and green themed.. with the pool at the back.. here we go the order:

Pumpkin soup – served pipping hot, and to my amazement, this soup should be served first, but it made it appearance when I had almost done with my main course..ughhhh…the worst part was that it wasnt tasty at all.. gosh..

Mushroom bruschetta – nothing to praise about.. dont order this one..

Meatballs with pineapple – was expecting something more (if not the same as) the Ikea’s version of meatballs.. this one was nice.. 5 pieces grilled into perfection with a yummy sauce.. however, the last ball was uncooked inside!!.. another disappointment.. and when I complained about it, mbaknya said something like “jadi mau diganti? atau gimana?” with that slap-me-please-face.. ughhhh.. then I told her, “no its okay.. cuman kasih tau aja”..

Tuna Burger in panini bread – nice filling, but the panini bread was as hard as rock.. bisa buat nimpuk maling deh.. panini bread should be toasted.. filling and crispy..

Pancake with salami and sausages – the pancake was not that GREAT overall.. soggy on the second layer.. and the salami was not that tasty.. sausages were average..

Penne with mushroom – Nice, simple but almost tasteless..

Special pancake with butter, maple syrup and a scoop of ice cream – Nothing special really, again the pancake was soggy in the second layer.. no butter found.. maple syrup had to be requested before it brought to your table.. ice cream looked big.. but its nothing inside.. ughhhh..totally different from what you may see in the menu

The service?? No service charge – but this has been translated into a lousy service if I could say it lousy.. It took years just to ask for a knife and fork.. and another year to clear up the table (even if we have ordered a dessert) and as always, it came quick when we requested for the bill.

Price wise was Okay overall.. ranging from 16K and above

I had this cocktail tea which filled with generous pieces of apple, strawberry and kiwi.. but then it was utterly sweet.. tasted like rujak by the end..served for two..

I dont think I will return to this place in the near future.. just wait for any improvements.. pancake award this year still goes to bread and breakfast..

Hahaha … you eat a lot , eh ? Thanks for the review mate, it’s amazing how waiters and waitresses these days are so not service-oriented. The moment I spot those that are nice, I want to tell them how nice they are and that I definitely will come again in the near future. Hey, maybe I should do that … tapi ntar harganya naik …
